Garfield County’s libraries are asking for community feedback through a series of focus groups they’ll be conducting over Zoom.
James Larson, the marketing and communications manager for the county’s libraries, said some might consider libraries an outdated resource, but they continue to be a place for education and information and want to be as accessible to the needs of community members as possible.
“We are a center of knowledge, information, knowledge creation. We are here for everyone in the community. … It’s fairly obvious the (Latino) community is neglected in a lot of senses. With other government’s entities. We’re basically here to promote reading and education no matter what it takes to get a person there,” Larson said.
